Residing Dreams (Chapter 276)

The point is, life hasn’t been easy for me either. You see, I don’t really know how to tell you this, but… my parents recently got a divorce.
They’ve been separated for about a month or so, and I think I could see it coming. I knew something had changed this year. Things weren’t the same around the house and sometimes at night, I could hear them fighting. They didn’t raise their voices much, but once in a while they did. The worst part was probably when they didn’t talk to each other at all. My mom and dad would give each other the silent treatment for days.
Sometimes I wished that I could have a family more like yours. Even though it’s just you and your dad, you both seem so happy and contented. Your father is a great man, and I’d love it if he were my dad. I will never understand how a couple could just stop loving each other. I’ve seen wedding pictures of my mom and dad, as well as photos of them after that. Back then, they looked like they were truly in love.
